Customer Reviews

Wyoming by Moon Publishing

Moon Publications has another great book. Everything you need to know about traveling to Wyoming. I have used several of there books on different travel locations and they have all been excellent. The detail about the locations is very helpful, from places to eat and stay to points of interest and even directions as well as the local culture. I highly reccomend there travel books.

Excellent travel book, excellent value

An outstanding guide to a wonderful state. One book, of course, cannot cover all there is about any area this big, but this book does an outstanding job for Wyoming's history, lodging, attractions, background information, etc.As for any area, it's good to supplement with other specialized topic and / or area guides, but for a general guide to a large state, this one does a great job.Logically arranged, well-written, and very readable, you can almost read it straight through; it's one of the better travel guides available.

An outstanding guidebook to a beautiful piece of America.

By far the best guidebook to the entire state of Wyoming, with excellent detailed sections on Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. The book, which is superior to some others in the Moon series, is a labor of love by the author for the land, people, and small towns of the state. Pitcher provides great detail on what to see everywhere; colorful local and regional histories; and affectionate, slightly tongue-in-cheek descriptions of small towns. Sure to enhance a visit of eny length.

If you go to Wyoming,you must take this book !

I checked this book out of the Public Library in preparation for a 30 day trip to Wyoming. I liked it so much, I bought a copy. GOOD MOVE ! I planned my trip based upon this book and I found it to be very reliable. The directions to the petrographs in the middle of no-where could have been a little better, but we found then. A MUST BOOK IF YOU WANT TO TOUR WYOMING. We found the resturant recomendations to be accurate too.

Best travel guidebook I have ever read.

We probably would have bought a better-known guidebook (e.g., Fodor's, Frommer's), if we had seen one, but we found only Pitcher's. And so restricted, how lucky we were. This is a book I would read even if I weren't going to Wyoming, but we did go, last summer, and we read the book continuously and out loud throughout our travels via rental car through the state. It led us to Sacajawea's (sp?) grave, and to many spectacular and out-of-the-way places that we never would have found on our own. Also, the book has accurate reviews of local restaurants, motels, and attractions like rodeos and museums.
